After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Li Shouhai frowned slightly. The relationship between these two ancestors had just been easing recently, so why were they quarreling again?

Your Highness is a man of fiery temper and domineering character. Although that man looks elegant and polite, he is very ruthless with his words, and one of his words can choke Your Highness.

In the past, at such times, no one's advice was of any use, and only Li Shouhai could say a few words.

Li Shouhai thought that if the two men in front of him started a fight, it would end with one side shedding blood.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace and ran quickly towards Lanyue Garden.

Outside Lanyue Garden.

A nanny wearing a purple wide-sleeved shirt saw Li Shouhai coming and immediately came forward anxiously, her almond-shaped eyes red, and she grabbed Li Shouhai's whisk with one hand.

"Eunuch Li, the queen had a nightmare last night. I didn't mean to make His Highness angry. His Highness kicked me and us out. I don't know what's going on inside."

Li Shouhai lowered his head and glanced at her white fingertips, smiled comfortingly, and said, "Madam Cheng, don't worry. I just happen to have something to report to His Highness. I'll go in and take a look."

Nanny Cheng immediately lowered her pale face and retracted her fingers as if she had been electrocuted.

"Yes, thank you, eunuch."

The maids in green behind him glanced at the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, and watched Li Shouhai step into Lanyue Garden.

There was no one in the Lanyue Garden. While Li Shouhai was thinking about the words, he walked a few steps to the main house.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard an embarrassing noise.

"Zhao Huo, you, you are a beast."

A deep and hoarse voice asked maliciously, "Oh? Which one is better, Zhao Jin or the beast?"

With a loud slap, Li Shouhai subconsciously covered his face and felt the pain on his cheek.

"You are worse than an animal!"

A burst of sobbing: "I don't want to see you again in my life. What did Zhao Qi do wrong? He is still a minor, and you didn't even let him go. If I had known that Zhao Jin wanted to kill you, I shouldn't have let you go secretly!"

A short exclamation.

The man laughed wildly, his tone full of malicious mockery.

"What? Do you regret it now? It's too late for you to regret it now. Zhao Jin, this hypocritical villain, pretended to let me go back to my fiefdom, wanted to imprison and kill me, and then taught me to escape back. He should have thought of this day, right?"

"You said Zhao Qi was underage and you only felt sorry for him because he was young. But did you see Zhao Qi holding a sword and trying to stab me to avenge his father? Besides, seventeen is not young anymore. When you were fifteen..."

"Pa" another slap sounded.

A delicate rebuke: "Shut up!"

The man was hit, but instead of getting angry, he laughed out loud.

After that, neither of them spoke again.

Li Shouhai looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He stood farther away. His legs were almost numb from standing. Then he heard footsteps coming from inside the room.

He immediately lowered his head and walked towards her. A strong scent of heather came over, and Li Shouhai lowered his head even lower.

"His Royal Highness King Cheng."

"Well..." King Cheng's voice was lazy, "How is the matter going?"

"Your Highness, I saw the people who burned the food."

“Hmm…?” King Cheng stopped wiping his hands and his gaze fell on the top of Li Shouhai’s head as if it had substance.

"I let him go."

"That man was from the governor of Chongzhou. He had a personal grudge against Minister He. Minister He abducted his wife and children. He wanted to leave Qingzhou, so he had no choice but to do this trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"I was thinking that after Your Highness has pacified the country, he will rule the world with virtue. That person is no unknown person. If he exposes this matter, won't it make the states more afraid to rebel against Your Highness?"

King Cheng threw the towel he used to wipe his hands into the lotus pond, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of their resistance? The day I chop off the head of that hypocrite Zhao Jin, for me, those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish!"

"Yes." Li Shouhai's eyes moved from King Cheng's black boots to the open honey-colored chest, and then he saw a few fresh bleeding scratches on the criss-crossing scars.

He turned his eyes to the side and said respectfully, "I know Your Highness is not afraid, but I have already saved most of the food and fodder. There is no need to make a big fuss over this matter and make the world think wrongly of Your Highness."

King Cheng thought for only a moment, then said lazily, "Let him go, then let him go. Where is Minister He?"

The air was silent for a moment, and Li Shouhai blinked, "Minister He... was injured by that man. I sent him to the medical officer."

"It looks like he's seriously injured. I don't know if he can be saved."

King Cheng looks very much like the late queen. At first glance, he seems energetic, handsome, but his eyes are like those of the late emperor, narrow, long and sharp.

He looked at the few white hairs on Li Shouhai's temples for a few moments.

"Okay, I get it. But this kid has some talent. Let the medical officer do his best to treat him. If he can't be saved, forget it. Just consider it his own incompetence."

"I have one more thing for you to do." King Cheng looked back and said, "Except for Nanny Cheng, beat all the maids in Lanyue Garden with thirty sticks and sell them off."

"Go get a few tight-lipped people to come and serve. Also, Nanny Cheng said Shu Yue always has nightmares at night. Go get Doctor Zhang who has been checking Shu Yue's pulse to come over."

Li Shouhai had just glanced towards the inner room when he heard King Cheng say, "Go now."

"Yes."

……

Nanny Cheng took the prescription and went to the small kitchen to boil the medicine.

Li Shouhai watched her step out of the door, then turned his gaze towards the inner room.

After looking for a few moments and just about to leave, he heard a rustling sound, followed by a clear voice.

"Jingyun, pour me a cup of tea."

Nanny Cheng's real name is Cheng Jingyun.

Li Shouhai immediately poured a cup of hot tea and brought it into the inner room with his head lowered.

The owner of the voice was wearing a purple home shirt with wide sleeves. He reached out to take the teacup and found that it was Li Shouhai.

She managed to pull up the corners of her lips and smiled: "Why is it you, father-in-law? Where is Jingyun?"

"Your Highness, Madam Cheng has gone to make some medicine. If you have any instructions, please let me do it."

Yan Shuyue forced herself to raise her lips and lowered them, giving a bitter smile. "At this point, I am still not the Empress, so please call me Shuyue Xiao...Shuyue, just like when we were little."

Li Shouhai immediately bent down and said he dared not.

Yan Shuyue drank a few sips of tea and felt her throat was better. She smiled gently and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. I've seen you grow up. To me, you're half my elder."

Li Shouhai paused for a moment, looked up, met those smiling eyes, and sighed in his heart: They look alike, so alike.

Yan Shuyue's unique pair of phoenix eyes are so similar to the young man she just met at the west city gate.

You can't say they are similar, they are exactly the same.

Not only the eyes, but also the straight and noble nose, the beautifully shaped lips, and even the dark and trimmed eyebrows are so similar.

The only difference is probably the face shape.

The man just now had a face like Emperor Jing Zhao Jin, angular, handsome yet masculine, while Yan Shuyue had a heart-shaped face, which was more feminine.
